That's not a constructive approach. Doing nothing just means Republicans completely disasemble what remains of democracy in the US.

It has not collapsed yet. Democrats are electing a new chair RIGHT NOW (I don't know the date, but in the next few weeks).

They are going to elect a centrist. We can stop them. Now is the time.

If the new DNC is progressive and inspires people, it will prevent reluctant Republicans from going full scorched earth.

A progressive platform will win Democrats the white house for the next 20 years. Ask FDR how I know.

This, right now, is the final chance we have to prevent collapse.

Spread the word, share & cross post.

Please spread, cross post, share, whatever; wherever you can. People should have input into the democratic policy platform, but they're so brazen as to say the "center is where we need to be".

These people, these few hundred people, are a big problem with the democratic party.

We need to take the narrative back from centrists. It can be done by telling the DNC what to do, not the other way around.

“I’m not interested in anyone who is moving further away from the center,” said Cindy Bass, a Pennsylvania committee member from Philadelphia. “The center is where we have to be.”

They're not going to change a thing unless people make them.

Find your local state delegate and personally tell them how you feel a centrist is only going to guarantee another Republican victory. They are listed here: https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_National_Committee

Bernie Sanders is working behind the scenes to get a progressive in there but he can't do it alone.

I don't think there is but at the same time I think an over reliance on the sanctity of neutrality benefits those who lie and misinform (ie current right wing news/media control political machine)

I don't really know which journals are good/bad beyond the big names ones, nature, plos, elsevier, etc.

You won't be banned for posting journal links. The only time that would happen was if it happened continuously and had a pattern and multiple reports. I don't think there has ever been a permanent ban here.

Id recommend looking up your topic in a big name journal just to play it safe. Better science, less misinformation.

I'd like to build/find a list of the best journals to add to the sidebar.

Jaime Harrison is the DNC chair. https://democrats.org/jaime-harrison/

In my experience shit rolls downhill, so start at the top.

Join the discussion at [email protected] . It was a neutral space but now that we're in fascist America neutrality is no longer acceptable.

The working class need a voice and the DNC is so completely clueless, so that communication needs to happen like an avalanche for anything to change.

I've seen a few complaints over the past few weeks about there being a lot of psuedoscience, and there has been a fair amount of reports.

I figured it would be a good idea to update the rules on the sidebar to clearly lay out what is and isn't allowed.

I think a tagging system might help to keep down on the spam and elevate real scientific sources. These are just a draft and more rules could be added in the future if they are needed.

Current draft (work in progress, add suggestions in comments):

A community to post scientific articles, news, and civil discussion.

Submission Rules:

  1. All posts must be flagged with an appropriate tag and must be scientific in nature. All posts not following these guidelines will be removed.
  2. All posts must be peer reviewed and published in a reputable journal, unless flagged as news or discussion. No pseudoscience.
  3. No self-promotion, blogspam, videos, or memes. See list of unapproved sources below.

Comment Rules:

  1. Civility to other users, be kind.
  2. See rule #1.
  3. Please stay on the original topic in the post. New topics should be referred to a new post/discussion thread.
  4. See rule #1 again. Personal attacks, trolling, or aggression to other users will result in a ban.
  5. Report incivility, trolling, or otherwise bad actors. We are human so we only see what is reported.

Flag Options

  1. [Peer reviewed]
  2. [News]
  3. [Discussion]
